Author Description

The ICALEO 2007 Proceedings include three conferences: Laser Materials Processing, Laser Microprocessing, and Nanomanufacturing (new for 2007!) The Laser Materials Processing Conference covered a wide range of topics on macroscopic processes, applications, and related laser equipment and systems. This CD also includes a number of highlight sessions such as Processing with High Brightness Lasers and Advances in Diodes for Pumping & Processing and includes a tribute session organized to honor the late Prof. Akira Matsunawa, a mentor and a pioneer in the laser community, for his remarkable contribution to the field of laser wielding. The Laser Microprocessing Conference covered special interests in processes and systems for microscopic applications, including highlight sessions such as Hybrid Processing: Chemically Assisted Laser Microprocessing. A joint session is also included with the Laser Materials Processing Conference that addressed the issues in manufacturing of solar and energy devices. New to this year was The Nanomanufacturing Conference which ICALEO 2007 provided a platform for seeking new opportunities on laser applications that require multi-disciplinary knowledge bases. Lastly, the ICALEO 2007 proceedings includes the plenary session which features talks on attosecond laser technology, lasers in entertainment, and future laser programs.
